I got my Ram in the late spring, and the previous owner had those smoked/tinted head/tail lights that he then sprayed with more tint, so, utterly useless. Looked cool, but almost rear-ended a few times and couldn't see at night.
So I bought the exact same housings off eBay, black background, but a clear front. Upgraded the bulb to a LED, very bright, and put Sylvannia Long Life bulbs in for the rest.
3 days later, passenger/front turn bulb blows. 4 weeks later, passenger/rear light goes. Week later, passenger/front turn bulb blows again.
Bulbs new, good brand name, I don't touch the glass with fingers just to be safe.
Any ideas?
Hoping not the new housings, not sure how it could be... but, bulbs are a pain to change for the fronts especially and they keep blowing out.
